amazing work Bitrate - thats the Ecco type game I'd reported as seeing screen shots to some time ago.Truly incredible that you actually have a playable Demo!I never thought I'd see it running.
Thanks for sharing!
Ever seen the 3do ex employees page on Facebook?
Some cool shots of the original M2 dev team and of Trip playing Return Fire in the office.
Wait........ is that Bitrate in the background talking to WK?

Now does anyone rember the VR type sphere unit that you actually climbed into and played Bladeforce on?
I saw photos of it in a mag at the time - it looked like a pretty funky peripheral . It was especially made as a one off for a trade show to demonstrate 3DO,s abilities
Oh thats right Bitrate has 5 of them in his attic

I made the video private while I upload a new version with a large watermark embedded.
The new video will be back up tonight and I will edit my first post on the subject with the new url as YouTube does not allow updating.

We had several of these in-house, back when I was at Virgin. The 3-D-O people had come down to visit and pitch to us the concept of doing a break-through title for it. "Something as cool and innovative as SEGA Genesis Aladdin title."

The biggest issue we had it with though, was that we were supposed to develop the game within a 7 Month time-frame and we wouldn't even get the hardward until 3-3.5 Months into development.

We passed on it as most publishers and developers did. The 3-D-O was never really anything all that special. When it came out, it was WAAAAAY over-priced.

The M2 was also known as their "Bulldog" platform. :-/

This was an interesting "snippet" posted very recently on Atariage - I wonder how many developers passed due to the delay?
